Father Bernardino da Portogruaro, the spiritual director of Mother Maddalena, wrote to her in a letter on May 29, 1887, this reflection on the Come, Holy Spirit:
“Ascende lumen sensibus: Enlighten our minds so that we may know what God’s will is in our regard, so that we may be able to please Him more in the different circumstances in which we find ourselves.
“Infunde amorem cordibus: Love in the Heart in order to desire sincerely to do what we have found out or learned (is God’s Holy Will).
“Infirmi nostri corporis virtute firmans perpeti: (Strengthen with constant vigor the weakness of our human nature): force our human nature to practice that which we have learned and desired.
“Light, Love, Strength----To Know, To Will, To Do.”
